Abstract
[ ${\ll}$ ]n divisions of figures(${\pi}{\varepsilon}{\rho}{\acute{\iota}}\;{\delta}{\iota}{\alpha}{\iota}{\rho}{\acute{\varepsilon}}{\sigma}{\varepsilon}{\omega}{\nu}\;{\beta}{\iota}{\beta}{\lambda}{\acute{\iota}}o{\nu}$)${\gg}$ is one of the works written by Euclid, but little known to us. In this paper, we introduce this Euclid's book on divisions of figures with its brief history, analyse its contents, and discuss how to use it in mathematics education.
